Targee Ski Trip 2009!
Targhee 2009 was another great and successful trip. This was our 13th year at Targhee, with only missing 2002 when the Olympics were in SLC. This is a trip that we all look forward to every year and will continue to be a tradition for years to come. The group was smaller this year, but we still enjoyed the time we had with our family and friends that were there. We enjoy relaxing together, sharing memories, and laughing alot with each other. The boys thought it would be fun to run from the hot tub outside and around the lodge and run back into the hot tub. Yes, barefooted! Luckily they didn't get sick or get frost bite on their feet. Even as our family grows, we will continue to take this trip together for as long as we can.
Our yearly picture in front of the fireplace. Kyle, Jensen, Logan, Easton, and Jordyn!
Easton skiied all day with Mom on Saturday. He took her through "Wacky Weasel Way", "Alley Oop Alley" "the Bear Den" "Eyeball Forest" and "the North Pole". It was fun to watch him gain more confidence as the day went on. It snowed all day Saturday and was so fun!
Kyle, Logan and Easton
The old man still has it, according to Logan. He can ski and keep up with the young kids and loves every minute he is skiing. He loves that his kids all enjoy it and that they still want to ski with him. What can I say....when you got it, you got it!
Annie had a bad crash the first morning that we were there. She actually tore her ACL and ended up in bed for the rest of the trip. She was a good sport and only complained that she wished she could have skiied more than a few runs.
This is what happens when you ski and board hard all day long! You don't care where you sleep as long as you can close your eyes!
Jordyn is a die hard as well. Out when the lifts open and she doesn't let her brothers get the best of her. She keeps up with them and enjoys going where they go. She did ski one morning and she still is a great skiier, too! She did a flip one afternoon, but her's wasn't intentional!
Logan is our extreme boarder! Nothing is too hard or too steep for this one. He loves doing flips off cornices and cliffs, much to his mother's dismay! He loves the powder, jumps, and loves it probably more than life itself! He's out when the lifts open and he's done when they close.
Jensen has become our Kamakazi skier! He is doing so great as well! He ski's with the big boys and found that the kiddie run wasn't hard enough. He loves it and would go all day with just 10 minutes to stop to eat cup o' noodles and go potty and then he was out again!
Easton and Jordyn
Easton took ski lessons and learned very quickly. His instructor's name was Carrie and she served a mission to Ogden, Utah. He told her that he had a sister that was on a mission and told her all about his family. He did great and didn't complain once about the powder or the cold. Well, maybe once but it was at the end of the day and he was SOoo tired!
